the gravity of moodsinvisible, relentless, and somehow heavier than anything good.

means A persistent tendency to focus on the bad, the pessimistic, or the criticalin thought, attitude, or atmosphere.

from From Latin negare, 'to deny, to say no' (the same root behind negate and negation), built from the prefix neg-, 'not.' English added the noun-suffix -ity to negative to name the quality itself, so the word literally carries the act of refusal at its core: negativity is no-saying made into a whole disposition.
